Mission

New Conservatory Theatre Center (NCTC) has been in operation since 1981. The mission of New Conservatory Theatre Center is to champion innovative, high-quality productions & educational theatre experiences for youth, artists, and the queer & allied communities to effect personal & societal growth, enlightenment and change. Our vision is that theatre is a community event and a way to build community. Our Education programs reach a diverse annual audience of 36,000+ children and youth throughout the Bay Area, through a variety of arts and health programs.  Our mainstage season has been a voice for the Queer community and its allies for more than four decades.  We currently stage seven shows per season, ranging in scope from world premieres and experimental work to musicals revivals and classic works from the queer canon. NCTC's breadth of diverse programming, history of service, youth arts education programming, and exploration into LGBT-themed theatre is unmatched in the Bay Area.
